Question for Zee, after today's game is he a Root man or a Head man

I am a always Root man

having said that Root has got a nice head.

If you put lipstick on him and a boob job , he will put jemma jammeson run for her money.

Oh didn't notice graham, yeah england have a really good odi squad. They are going to be a very hard team to beat at home at the next world cup, they are certainly well overdue to actually win it

yeah England like Graham has lost a lot of finals of the big one and never won one so far.

Doug the Rug Bollinger has officially retired at the age of 36 - I didn't know he was still playing until I saw him in a BBL game a few weeks ago.

He was a deadset character that guy and a good bowler, unlucky to grow up during an era were we had some seriously good pace bowlers.

True. He played 11-odd tests for 50 odd wickets. Possibly deserved to play more.

Oh shit did he end up getting that many, i know he played a lot more ODI games than tests. Either way he was good enough to play test cricket, just had a few really good bowlers in front of him. For some reason i had it in my mind he played like 4 or 5 tests

You think that's farcical? Did you see the game in the UAE that is bring investigated for match fixing?

Apologies for poor quality but I can't find a good link. Basically, this is from a league in the UAE. Most of the players are nobodies. The team batting second, from Dubai, were all out in the Chase in lets say, suspicious circumstances.

nothing wrong with making a bit of money on the side

but

the runout at 36 seconds, fuck me.

After watching nearly every BBL game this season, the channel 9 coverage of these international T20's totally suck compared to 10's coverage.

Great innings from the big show, really shouldn't have been given out with that catch but all good

No he shouldn't. It wasn't a catch. The ground stopped the momentum of the ball.

It's exactly like the one earlier in the summer, not enough evidence for the third umpy to over turn that decision considering it was sent up as out.
